One of Ishtar's lovers was the grain God Tammuz. He died young (as the grain is cut just as it reaches the perfection of ripeness), and some legends imply that Ishtar had a hand in His death. But Ishtar was inconsolable and determined to fetch Him back from the Underworld. At each of the seven gates of the Land of the Dead, Ishtar, like Inanna, was required to give over an article of clothing or jewelry until finally She came naked and humbled before Her sister Queen Ereshkigal, Who then imprisoned Ishtar.

The world mourned for the lost Goddess of love, and Her father Sin the moon God sent an envoy armed with powerful magic which successfully rescued Her. Tammuz was eventually also brought back to live in the land of the Gods. The descent of Ishtar was celebrated annually in Babylonian lands.
